The history of the Tignanello

Tignanello is produced exclusively from the vines of the homonymous vineyard, which is located near the Tenuta Tignanello. The soil is calcareous with tufa elements. Tignanello was the first Sangiovese aged in barriques, the first modern red wine assembled with non-traditional grape varieties such as Cabernet and one of the first red wines of Chianti without the use of white varieties. Under the original name "Chianti Classico Riserva vigneto Tignanello", it was first produced with the 1970 vintage from a single vineyard; at that time it contained 20% Canaiolo and 5% Trebbiano and Malvasia and was aged in small oak barrels. With the 1971 vintage it became Vino da Tavola Toscana and was called Tignanello, and from the 1975 vintage onwards the white varieties were completely eliminated. Since 1982 the composition has not been changed.
